Mary of the Wild Moor.

1t was on one cold winters night,
As the wind blew across the wild moor,
When Mary came wandering home with her babe,
Till she came to her fathers door;
''Oh, father! dear father" she cried,
'.Come down and open the door,
Or the child in my will perish and die,
BY the wind that blows across the wild moor
''Oh, why did l leave this dear spot,
VIII once was happy and free?
But doomed to roam without friends or
home,
And no one TO take pitv on mel"
The old man was deaf TO her cries
Not sound of her voice reached his ear
But the watch dog did howl, and the village bell
tolPd,
But how must the old man have felt
When he came to the door in the morn!
Poor MARY was dead, but the child alive,
Closely pressed in its dead mothers
Half frantic he tore his gray hair,
And the tears down his cheeks they did pour,
and died
BY the wind that blew across the wild moor
The old man in ief pined away,
And the child its mother went soon,
And no one, they say, has lived there this day,
And the cottage 10 ruin has gone.
The villagers point out the spot
Where the Willows droop over the door,
Saying, There Mary died, once gay village
bride,

POEM.
Back through the vista of the years,
Through clouds and sunshine, smiles and tears,
We look upon youthful pair.
Resolved, " hate'er bctide, 10 share
Together, this feet, changeful life,
With good and ill, alternate rife,
For Cupid dealt them each a dart,
Whose missiles always reach the heart,
Permeate it; cannot tell
How; and sften do make to swell
With hope and joy the youthful breast
And sometimes give strange unrest
Do you not know it, all OF you?
Are my words, though homely, true?
But pardon, digress true theme
How strange and dreamlke doth it seem.
These fifty years of welded life,
Ali past; earth's conflict and its strife,
Nearer than to its close,
Whenyour frail bodies sha repose.
But if TO your lives true,
Sweet are tn memories left 10 yea
OF kindly words, of deeds Of love,
OF sacrifice for others good.
Of little acts, and smiles that cheer,
And burdens borne that bring hearts near,
That knit the holy bond more firm,
And help 10 meet ife's duties stern.
And now, dear friends, we're glad to-day,
You're led so kindly on your way;
Children and grandchildren are here,
And further down, sweet child's cheer
Brings back the past again 10 you
Your little OF yoTe to view.
And may they cheer Your journey on,
And you, IN heart and soul, be one.
And 10 each other yet be spared
For many years, then, all prepared,
Hear the ''welI done,'' across the river,
And meet there in the 'sweet forever
And may all the wedding garment wear,
That we the marriage feast above may share;
With Heavens unnumbered host, adore
Who died for Us, Whe lives forevernore.

SKETCH.


SKETCH.
Samuel Bean was a native of SUIT
ton, n. H., and was a member of
large family, the descendants of
which are widely scattered over the
United States and Canada. He came
North first, as far as Derby Line,
where he stopped for short time, but
not liking there, came back as far as
Glover sometime during the year 1798-
He had acquaintances here, and de-
cided he would stop, being favorably
impressed with the place. He bought
lot of land, and commenced i'm
provements. He was then only 19
years of age. He made his home in
the family of James Vance until his
marriage, which took place Oct. 1st,
1899. grandmother maiden
name was Charlotte Phelps; her
birthplace, Litchfeld, Conn. her
mother died when she was very young,
and she came to New Haven, VT, to
live with her cousin, Andrew Moore,
and moved to Glover with them.
They settled on the old Parker farm,
building log house in the field on
the east side of the road. And here
grandfather and grandmother were
married. They moved into the log
house which he had built, and here
the first years of their married life
were spent. Their hardships were
many; though l doubt whether they
seemed SO severe to them, as they do
to US, as we look back upon them.
The dense forests, no roads, no
stores, being obliged to make all of
their own cloth; often living several
miles from neighbors, and many
miles from any shop or mill, were
but few of the many inconvenience
that they suffered. Sometimes the
crops were cut short, and then there
were no well-flled granaries or over
stocked markets to fall back upon,
but all were driven to extreme want.
In 1816,when there was a snow storm
the 6th, 9Th and 10th of June, the
growing crops and leaves on the trees
were killed, and even the birds died
by hundreds. Grandfather family
then numbered eight children, and we
can only imagine what straits they
were in until another seasons harvest
came. Framed houses and barns
soon took the place of those first
built, schools and school buildings
improved, stoves took the places of
fireplaces and the inverted kettles for
the first stove in their school-house
was a potash kettle turned bottom
upwards. with a hole cut in the top
for a chimney, and the side for the
door About the year 1885, he built
another set Of buildings one half mile
TO the east Of the old homestead,
(giying up this place to one of his
sons, Amos P.) which he intended
for the home of his old age. In 1887,
Jan. 18th, grandmother died. Grand
father was married again the follow
ing autumn TO Mrs. Laura Spaulding
Percivai., widow of Ashur Perciyal.
She had large family of children,
consisting Of two sons and six daugh-
4ers- of whom five are still Gviuo
